S%crofuIous, Inherited, and COnta-

THROUGH the medium of one of your
books received through Mr.. Frank L.
Wray, druggist, Apollo, Pa, | became
acquainted with your Cuticura Remedies,
and take this opportunity to testify to you
that their use has permanently cured me
of one of the worst cases of blood poison
ing, in connection with erysipelas, that |
have ever seen, and this after having been
pronounced incurable by some of the best
physicians in our county. | take great
pleasure in forwarding to you this testi-
monial, unsolicited as it is by you, in order
that others suffering from similar maladies
may be encouraged to give your C~uticura
Remedies a trial.

AN APPEAL.

TO the Ladies of the City of Water
toacn and Vicinity:-Actua:ed by de-
sire to promote Evangelical religion
among the young men of our city and its
vicinity, and to improve their mental,
social and physical condition, and recog-
nizing the fact that in no other way can
this great end be successfully accomplish
ed other than by the formation of an or
ganization to work among the young men
and bring them under moral and Chris
tan influence, and extend to them the
privileges of Christian partnership, an
association has been formed, adopting for
its name "The Young Mems Christian
Association of the city of WATERFOWL"
This association recognizes the need of
woman's assistance and influence in the
promotion of the objects for which it has
been called into existence, and therefore
it does hereby appeal to the ladies of the
city of Watertown and vicinity for their
cooperation, and asks that they interest
themselves in the work by helping to fit

Another we'll attended meeting of both
old and young, interested in the forma-

ton for this city, was held at the Congre-
gational church last Sunday afternoon

having been taken towards its formation

HOW IT WORKS.

Favorable rates OH freight had enabled
the Globe Milling company TO work up
good business in -four at Davenport, Iowa,
netting profit of from five to ten cents
per barrel, which although, close mar
gin, was satisfactory to the company under
the circumstances. But the application
of the Interstate Commerce law has in
creased freight rates between this city
aud Davenport to just the extent of tax
ing away all the margin the Globe COM
pany had on their transactions, and hence
has ruined the business. This is one of
ofthe many instances that might be cited
where the Interstate Commerce law
steps in and beats the small towns.

At the regular meeting held Monday
evening Commissioner Jones offered the
the following resolution:
Resolred, That the contract for the construc-

section 8, of chapter 9, of the city charter; and,
the clerk is hereby directed to send the contrac-
tors, Messrs Keepers q Riddell copy of this
resolution otifying them that the contract is at
an end because it was unlaWfully entered into
with their full knowledge and procurement and
that they must desist from doing any more work

a warm discussion in favor CT the resolu-
ton by Commissioners Jones, Finn and

Harner TnIka in Hall

CINCINNATI, December 1O-The Evening
Telegram to-day says that last night it
made an arrangement with E. L. Harper
to have reporter meet him in the Jail this
morning and make q record of what testi-
mony be would like to have given while
on the stand, but which he could not give
because of its lack of immediate and d.
rect bearing on the case in hearing. 1t ac-
cordlDgly contains an interview with Har-
per, in which Harper says:
"You can say that the president and the
directors of the bank itself and the large
stockholders unloaded stock for which
paid between 500 600 and $500, 900 between
January l, 1887, and June 20. 1887. And
$500 600 OF that went TO the bank for new
stock paid for May 5. Then in reference
to this Harry Waters, the bookkee per, he
you know, who testified against me on the
stand. Why, when his testimony was
given before the grand jury that body
wanted to indict him, and voted unanI-
mously TO DO it. That indictment was
withheld to max him testify against me.
Well, that fellow Waters proposed to me
to run away and to robe the bank of all
convertible securities and cash, and he
Wonld carry them for me. Ny answer to
him was that l owned half the bank and
had never taken dollar OF its money and
never would, much less rob it aud run
away. An that | had ever done or ever
would do was to help the bank through"
Referring to the close of the bank, Har-
der said 'If Bank Examiner Powell had
not played the bull in China shop, l
could have kept the bank all right. l can
implicate great many more if 1 like.
There are three officers of the bank that
always speculated in wheat"

arrest for an Old Murder.

PEORIA, Ill, December S.-A great SEN
sation was caused last evening by the ar
rest of Hartman Plaag, the Marshal oil
South Peoria. He has, it appears, been
indicted by the Grand Jury for the murder
of his father law, John ColdItz, on the
evening of January. 5. 1880. Plaag was
lodged in Jail without bail. Colditz was
found dead on that date with bullet
through his heart, snd the instrument
with which the deed was COMMITTED was
found within three feet of him. The cor
oner's jury at the time of the murder was
adjourned from day to day, finally bring
ing in a verdict of murder by unknown
parties. Now, after the long lapse of time,
Plsag's sister-in-law. Mrs Becker, and Mrs.
Weiss, come forward and swear that Plaag
killed his father. in law; that they wit
messed the deed, but were so much in ter
ror of Plaag that they swore falsely at the
inquest. Rlasg says his sister in-law has
secured his indictment because of an un-
successful attempt to blackmail him, she
having some years ago threatened to bring
suit sgainst him for seduction unless he
paid her $500. which he refused to do.

And DR.. Barker Returns to His Home
in Cincinnati.
The visit TO indianapolis of this eminent
specialist OF the Eye, Ear, Nose and Throat
will positively close on Thursday, Deem
Der Odd, when he will return TO his home
office in Cincinnati. By being judicious
advertiser the Doctor has become we'll
known in much less time than he could
have been in any other way. While ad-
vertIsiDg is important, it Is vastly more
important TO tell the truth in doing 50,
being able to verify the statements by
works. This is well illustrated in DR..
Bankers case, and the crowds which daily
throDg his Office is ample evidence that not
advertising alone, but being able to cure
the afflicted when others fail, has made for
him lasting reputation as skillful aud
successful Oeulist end Aurist. We would
be glad could he be induced to permanently
remain in indianapolis; the strong hold he
has upon the confidence of the public
would certainly warrant him continuous
Temunerative practice. A change seems
impracticable jast row, as be saws his bus
mess and property interests in Cincinnati
cannot be disposed of without mourning a
sacrifice, which he does not feel justified IN
making. He is no longer a stranger here,
and il is generally recognized fact that
he is not only a most successful specialist,
Usipg new, rational and exact treatment,
curing his patients in ore-fourth the time
for one-helf the fee usually charged, but
that his preparation for prescribing and
adjusting spectacles and artificial eyes is
unsurpassed in the United States. He
carries the material, making his spectacles
for each individual case, ranging in price
from $3.50 upward. He will positively
leave on the 22d.
